Head Lamps/Turning Signal

You may simply not understand how this all works, that is it sounds like it all COULD be normal

Get the car towards darkness, where you can see the headlights on something like a garage door.

Turn the headlights on and actuate the dimmer switch, and determine which is the high beams. Your blue indicator should now be on, and ONLY lit on high beams.

Now Go out and look at the signal lamps to be sure they are both lit

Turn the key on or start the engine, and turn the flasher to either left or right

What you should see is both the appropriate tail lamp and the front signal getting noticeably brighter and dimmer as the lamp flashes. With the signal lever centered, they should be "dim" which is simply the tail lamps and parking lamps.
